SBS Transit Launches New Single-Deck Buses, Scores Many Firsts

It is Singapore's most environmentally friendly public bus. It is also the friendliest to the elderly and disabled - being able to ferry two wheelchair-bound passengers at any one time. And to top it all off, it is also one of the safest - boasting an advanced braking system which helps to minimise on-board accidents.
SBS Transit's newest buses were designed to not only cater to the needs of a broader spectrum of commuters but also to do its part for the environment.
